Actually, no...
When you get a new stringed instrument, you're suppose to change the strings as soon as possible. You see, even though an instrument is brand new, and right out of the factory to your hands, you never know how old the strings may be. Strings are like food, after awhile they expire and sound dead. If they're really old, they'll rust quickly. So I suggest you get new ones on there quickly. Don't worry about the color of them, that doesn't make a difference, it's only eye candy, but if you must keep blue strings on, DR makes blue strings for bass.

Originally posted by ScytheI know. It would cause all the strings to go out of tune at once if any of those were the cause. Usually, when I play, one of the strings goes out before the others and when that happens, I change them all.
That could be many causes. A loose bridge would do that, a warped headstock too, even fretbuzz can do that.
